We’re still getting cozy while the HP webOS event gets officially kicked off today, but there are already a flood of leaks and rumors hitting the net this morning. One is the Palm Pre 3, presumably the successor to the first two, which will be featuring webOS, of course. The information was mistakenly put up…
Following shortly on the Android release, Worms has been launched on Palm’s webOS. The classic turn-based strategic shooter game pits rivals mobs of invertebrates with funny accents against one another, armed with ridiculous weapons like the exploding sheep, the holy hand grenade, and the hadouken.

It’s only been a week since we gave away an iPad and we already have another big item to give away to you, our dedicated, and probably attractive, readers. This week we’re giving away a Palm Pre 2 and it’ll be open to all North American residents. The only catch is that the phone itself…
